Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Pelham, TN.

For people with HIV or AIDS who also struggle with addiction, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be acknowledged and adequately addressed simultaneously while they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Keeping this client in rehab is not only essential for their well-being, but for the good of the general public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their drug or alcohol problem continue or worsen.

In many cases, individuals who battle with both HIV/AIDS and addiction concurrently may have let their health fall apart because of the lack of care most people with addictions give themselves even when they don't have HIV or AIDS. Some quit taking their medicine, don't go to the Doctor, etc. and therefore require critical medical help once they receive alcohol or drug rehabilitation. Aside from rehabilitation for their drug or alcohol addiction, in a rehab facility that provides treatment for individuals with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a full medical assessment to see whether they are experiencing any other illnesses associated with their diagnosis. This would include screening for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health problems.

Drug or alcohol abuse rehab for individuals with HIV/AIDS in Pelham would include detoxification services which are safely conducted with both the client and the rehab staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services individuals with HIV or AIDS become inspired to be sober and healthier, and attending recovery meetings where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
